Episode #226 of The High Flyers Podcast features Bharat
Sundaresan, award-winning cricket commentator, writer and
storyteller. Based in Adelaide, he’s covered cricket worldwide
for over 18 years and is a regular media voice on shows from ABC
Breakfast to The Project. Known for his flamboyant style, Bharat
was profiled on ABC’s Australian Story in 2025 and is now
also pursuing his lifelong passion for pro wrestling in the ring.
In this conversation, Bharat reflects on his unconventional
childhood in Mumbai, surviving two drug overdoses and finding his
way into journalism after dreams of cricket and heavy metal. He
shares a decade with the Indian Express covering Indian
cricket, how he honed his craft by listening deeply and building
trust, and the gamble of moving to Australia with his wife Isha
to start afresh.
Our host, Vidit Agarwal and Bharat explore his transition into
global cricket commentary, his philosophy on authenticity and
belonging, the realities of racism and identity for the Indian
diaspora, and the joy he finds in music, flamboyant
self-expression and even stepping into the pro-wrestling ring.
